A Norse hammer covers two things at once: Thor hammer heads meant to be recognised, and the blunt hafted pieces a fighter would actually swing. Both are on this tag, and the line between them is thinner than you might expect, since Mjolnir was a working hammer in the stories before it was a pendant.
Heads, hafts and marks
Thunderclad is the showpiece, a flat faced Damascus head on a rosewood haft with brass bolsters and a turned brass pommel. Ravenbeak is the fighting shape, a 1095 and 15N20 head with a raven etch on an ash haft with steel langets and a leather grip. Anvilwake runs a 24 inch haft under a rune cut head with a leather wrapped grip and a head cover. The Mjolnir shapes are shorter and heavier in the hand. Thunderhide is 16 inches overall with a rune cut head, a tan leather haft and a wrist loop. Ladderpeen is 15 inches with a ladder pattern Damascus head, a black leather haft and a knotwork collar. Thundergrain carries a carved ash handle with a Norse knotwork panel, and Wayrune crosses back to the bench with a Vegvisir engraved head on carved rosewood.
They sit in Thor hammers and in Viking hammers. For what the hammer meant before it was jewellery, read the meaning of Mjolnir.
